  2. Lovely puzzle. Neyartha has certainly lowered the bar! Perhaps to keep everyone happy, I think. The ones I missed to parse are ENDURANCE & DECLARANT. Otherwise a happy solve. Thanks Neyartha. :)

  4. 22Ac Libya interferes in transfer of the person making a formal statement (9) DECLARANT {DEC{LAR}ANT}

    I clicked the link Libya and looked for the word 'lar' in the given text for quite some time and didn't find it! Later in second attempt could get it...i.e LAR is the abbreviated version of Libyan Arab Republic! A tubelight affair?!
