Urgent enquiry: is my bonfire legal? (7,8)
I believe the answer is:
burning question
'my bonfire legal?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'urgent enquiry' is the wordplay.
'urgent' becomes 'burning' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'enquiry' becomes 'question' (synonyms).
'burning'+'question'='BURNING QUESTION'
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
