Stop British article (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ban

'stop' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'british article' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'b'+'an'='BAN'

(Other definitions for ban that I've seen before include "'Forbid, prohibit (3)'" , "Embargo" , "Stop" , "Officially prohibit" , "outlaw" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
