Stand for Left and Centre perhaps (7)
I believe the answer is:
lectern
'stand' is the definition.
(I know that lectern is a type of stand)
'left and centre perhaps' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'centre' with letters rearranged gives 'ectern'.
'l'+'ectern'='LECTERN'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for lectern that I've seen before include "Support for bible in church" , "Bible stand" , "Church reading-desk" , "Desk for a standing reader" , "Church reading desk" .)
