Shares responsibility to probe British problem (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
bonus issue
'shares responsibility to probe british problem' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'responsibility to probe british problem' is the wordplay.
'responsibility' becomes 'onus' (onus is a duty or responsibility).
'to probe' means one lot of letters goes inside another (probe can mean to poke into).
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in BBC).
'problem' becomes 'issue' (I've seen this before).
'b'+'issue'='bissue'
'onus' going into 'bissue' is 'BONUS ISSUE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
