Crossword Genius

Speaker found in corridor. A Tory perhaps (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orator

'speaker' is the definition.
(orator is a kind of speaker)

'in corridor a tory perhaps' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ORATOR' can be found hidden inside 'corridor a tory perhaps'.

'found' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for orator that I've seen before include "One making one across" , "He addresses" , "To roar at a speech-maker" , "An impressive public speaker" , "A Rhetorical talker or speech-maker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
