Won't have it the lad is slow, anyhow (9)
I believe the answer is:
disallows
'won't have it' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'lad is slow anyhow' is the wordplay.
'anyhow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lad'+'is'+'slow'='ladisslow'
'ladisslow' with letters rearranged gives 'DISALLOWS'.
'the' acts as a link.
