Show letters implicating junior member of parliament (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owlet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'junior member of parliament' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'show letters implicating' is the wordplay.
'OWLET' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for owlet that I've seen before include "Baby nocturnal raptor" , "Baby bird; moth" , "Offspring of the wise one?" , "Wise baby bird?" , "Nestling" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
