Prime Minister's usual rank? (5-7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

major-general

'rank?' is the definition.
(military rank)

'prime minister's usual' is the wordplay.
'prime minister' becomes 'major' (former prime minister John Major).
'usual' becomes 'general' (I've seen this before).
'major'+'general'='MAJOR-GENERAL'

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
