This is all fine excepting only 22a (Away from home, not in charge - 7).

I have OUT?A?D, but I have three possible answers, two of which see plausible, but none of which I can justify.

Any suggestions?

Peter

Not in is OUT and a charge (say a child) is a WARD

Thanks ever so much Jono. Clarity of thought helps massively.

P

Can someone give me a hint for the preceding words for the included lights pls.?

Unmarried across. Married down.

Thank you
I have 28a and 26d now…

I need some help with the unclued 2d.
I have figured out the preceding word, but cannot see the answer.

I have h?n?a?

Thanks

I've no longer got my copy - but wasn't that the first name, and another unclued entry had the surname?

Yes, Malone. I really should have read the preamble more carefully.
Thanks.

Fred, glad that helped. This week's puzzle was quite a bit tougher!
