Thanks very much how did you work it out

Aberration - Sailor topped = ratin(g) getting O(ver) = ration.
Queen = E R - Elizabeth Regina
AB-ER-RATION

P(olicy) backs (l)OTS = STOP + GrOw

Surely:

ABERRATION (sysnonym for lapse)
sailor = AB (able bodied seaman)
queen = ER (elizabeth Regina)
top = No. 1 - written as no i
sailor = tar
=> top sailor over = 'no i tar' backwards (over) = ration

put it all together = ab er ration

STOP-GO (a type of policy)
lots of money = pots=> backwards (indicated by backs) = spot
grow regularly = every other letter of 'grow' = go

put together = stop go
