Some clues are normal but others have a letter missing wherever it occurs.

The length at the end of the clue is from wordplay only of the mutilated answer.

1. Put forward proposal to bury Private Investigator and cover with photographs (10)

15. Edmund’s at no time in the future other than month (6)

24. Gods pour into centre of Scottish attachment (8)

20d. Manipulates recipe for one hundred men on board (8)


Thanks.
