Tedious bureaucracy (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

red tape

'tedious bureaucracy' is the definition.

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for red tape that I've seen before include "Intricate official routine" , "Scarlet ribbon of bureaucracy" , "officialdom" , "Time consuming bureaucracy" , "Colourful ribbon associated with bureaucracy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
