1) Huband cutting pig up in display (4,3)  S?O?  O?F.  It has to be SHOW OFF (display) with H (husband) in SOW (pig), but how does OFF mean "up in"?  The nearest I can get is that OFF means "high" as in gamy or rancid, and high can mean "up".  But that doesn't mean that "up" or "up in" means OFF.

 

2) Traitorous secret agents progressively picked out letter (3)  T?E.   I have no idea.

2. Tee

Up as in expired, so off?

Up as in at university? But that wouldn't be off

(first, second and third letters of Traitorous secret agents)

2Tee,letter. The T is the first letter in Traitorous, the E is second in 'secret' the next E is third in 'agents', so progressively.

That's pretty clever, TheWinner.

Why/How TEE?

Chambers has - off;...to a finish, up;...

Tee sounds like the clue of letter = T(ee)

Thank you, L-iK.  That is what I needed.  I'm a bit cross with myself for not having checked properly in Chambers.
