Regal tour arranged for governor? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

regulator

'for governor?' is the definition.
(governor is a kind of regulator)

'regal tour arranged' is the wordplay.
'arranged' indicates an anagram.
'regal'+'tour'='regaltour'
'regaltour' with letters rearranged gives 'REGULATOR'.

(Other definitions for regulator that I've seen before include "Controller" , "Ofsted perhaps" , "Controlling device" , "Governor" , "Supervisor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
