Statement unconnected to what's gone before (3,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

non sequitur

(Other definitions for non sequitur that I've seen before include "Conclusion that doesn't logically follow" , "Conclusion that does not connect with the previous argument" , "Something not following on logically" , "Illogical conclusion" , "Reply that has no relevance to what was said before" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
