Relevant information (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

material

I believe this is a double definition.

'relevant' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'information' is the second definition.
(I know that material is a type of information)

(Other definitions for material that I've seen before include "Matter; fabric" , "Matter; cloth" , "Directly relevant to a matter, in a law case perhaps" , "Felt, perhaps" , "Fabric or other substance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Telegraph.
