The crossword clue was...Common pests I confused. I and confused should have had a dash in between. The letters in commonpestsI can be rearranged (unconfused) as compos mentis which in Latin means in their right mind.

The answer to the missing clue was "in my right mind" that's why the judge had to get the next days paper to check the answer. She did the whole crossword puzzle and left out only that clue.

The answer is on page 160. Compos mentis (six and six letters) it means in my right mind

This was an answer to the questions being raised in the House of Lords pointing her inability to sign an important draft at such a precarious situation.
