I´d like to confirm your answers, but my son has arrived and now he is sleeping in what was his room and what is now my study. I have left the book there and I don´t want to wake him up, so wait till tomorrow:)

ELICITS - "draws out", and results from "L" placed in scrambled "CITIES"

19 ELICITS has already been done, MD! But it must be correct since we both got it!

6 Current means of making progress (8,7)
8 Accounts for one leaving the shops (6)

I'm not certain but possibly ENGAGE, which can mean both to hire and also to fight, eg. to engage in warfare.

Another one I'm not certain of without crossing letters:
ELECTRIC RAILWAY?

I like electric railway. I was trying to think of something that went along a water current, or possibly an atmospheric glider.

I'll guess FORBIDDEN PLANET because I can't think what else it could possibly be.
Explanation hazy. :(

FORBIDDEN yes, but not PLANET. But you are close.

FORBIDDEN REGION ... because it has the right number of letters?

FORBIDDEN GROUND, perhaps?
Ground = Reason

8 Accounts for one leaving the shops (6)
STORES
i. STORIES = Accounts
ii. minus "I" = one leaving
iii. STORES = Shops

3 Paid rising rates to accommodate Welshman (5)
OWAIN
i. OWN = Paid
ii. AI = rising rates (1a)
iii. OWAIN = Welshman

I think your Forbidden Ground might be the one houston.
I'd toyed with both Forbidden Forest and Forbidden Places, but neither seemed to completely fit the clue.
Well done with STORES that looks right for certain, but I'm not so sure about OWAIN. Hopefully jolana will be able to bring us up to speed shortly!

Nr 3 (with the Welshman) is wrong. The others are all right.

I think it's IDRIS.
It's hidden in the phrase
...paID RISing...
and Idris is a Welsh name.
