1)  What's proposed in London Washington's declined to discuss (6) T???E?.  TENDER? - if so, why?

 

2) Somewhere off the beaten track, unknown in part of Norfolk? (6) ??R???

 

3) Scholarly poet and his familiar address?  (7)  L???N?D.  It looks like LEARNED (Scholarly), with LEAR (poet) plus NED (was Edward Lear known as NED to his family?)

1 Tabled - (discussion) proposed in London, discussion declined in Washington

Ned is just another form of Edward, not specific to Lear.

I, too, wondered about TABLED until I found out that in the UK (London) if you table something you put it up for discussion, but in the US (Washington) if you table something you take it off  the table.

Go figure!
