Sorry Sandy missed your answer

[chokkie]

well, it's the bottom left hand corner I'm really stuck on now ....
if 15d (appalling prohibition I'm lifting, filling a trunk - 10 ltrs) is "abominably" then the clues I've got for 22a are:
n??n?y
and 17 d:
firm information about year in power (7) is it "cogency"? and if so, why?

and lastly

23d routine agreement, no pressure (3) ??t

Many thanks, Chox.
