37. Produce statement for the defence? (4)

23, Rich blend of bacteria kills source of sewage (8)

33. Support what’s used to fence humble abode (6)

Thanks.

33 Picket?

No letters placed in any of these?

[emmie]

14 stash ??

Thanks Mamyalynne.
I have ????E?.
But either there is an extra letter in the wordplay or you have to remove a string of letters.
So abode could be Ode, ab being extra. Or Support could be port.

Not a huge fan of 'special instructions', but plenty are and will see this.

14 ''[auth]or's'' (inside) SUS = 'find out'
37 'produce' = 'CA(u)SE' - 'u' is an extra letter.

23 Affluent, rich. Take away the E from Effluent, sewage and replace it with the 'end' of Bacteria, A.

[ProfessorMaisie]

23 '[bl]end' of 'bacteriA' instead of the first 'e' in a word for sewage = def 'rich'.
33 'support' is the one used in golf + the sword (with it's first 'e' an extra letter).

Thanks ProfessorM.
I had affluent penciled in but was not sure of the parsing.
I should have gotten 33d.
