Comments on the clue
1.Works, but not having w/p for one side is a bit of an easy way out in an L&R context; CD&D or some such would be more acceptable
2.The clue is rather spoilt by the hyphen
3.Part for collop seems a stretch
4.part-duty is only one word and really can't be split into two halves like that. You don't need the hyphen!
