Official order or proclamation (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edict

I believe this is a double definition.

'official order' is the first definition.
(an edict is an order or decree)

'proclamation' is the second definition.
(I know that edict is a type of proclamation)

'or' is the link.

(Other definitions for edict that I've seen before include "Decree, fiat" , "Injunction" , "Legally binding proclamation" , "Proclamation, law" , "Declaration" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
