Unscrupulous council bans one broadcast (14)
I believe the answer is:
unconscionable
'unscrupulous' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'council bans one broadcast' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' indicates anagramming the letters (letters scattered or cast around).
'council'+'bans'+'one'='councilbansone'
'councilbansone' anagrammed gives 'UNCONSCIONABLE'.
(Another definition for unconscionable that I've seen is " inordinate".)
I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
