Times following up proposition Queen is not a good Samaritan? (6-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

passer-by

'not a good samaritan?' is the definition.

'times following up proposition queen' is the wordplay.
'times' becomes 'by' (I've seen this in other clues).
'following up' says to put letters next to each other.
'proposition' becomes 'pass'.
'queen' becomes 'er' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'pass'+'er'='passer'
'by' put after 'passer' is 'PASSER-BY'.

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for passer-by that I've seen before include "One walking near" , "Spectator not stopping?" , "Witness" , "Someone coming near" , "One happening past" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
