Unqualified to issue (5)

I believe the answer is:

utter

I believe this is a double definition.

'unqualified' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'to issue' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for utter that I've seen before include "Give tongue to" , "Total < state" , "Dead" , "Perfect" , "Pure" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
