Young reporter removed lice in compartment (7)
I believe the answer is:
cubicle
'compartment' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'young reporter removed lice in' is the wordplay.
'young reporter' becomes 'cub' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'removed' indicates an anagram (moved again).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'lice' with letters rearranged gives 'icle'.
'cub' inserted inside 'icle' is 'CUBICLE'.
(Other definitions for cubicle that I've seen before include "Small changing room" , "Cell" , "Booth - kiosk" , "Small partitioned-off area" , "bay" .)
