State-owned (8)
I believe the answer is:
national
'state-owned' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for national that I've seen before include "57-year-old carer needing care?" , "Generally respected senior public figure?" , "Grand - - , horse race" , "Relating to the state" , "Of the home country" .)
