Town Clerk and I'd arranged economic policy? (7-4)
I believe the answer is:
trickle-down
'economic policy?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'town clerk and i'd arranged' is the wordplay.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'arranged' indicates an anagram (letters rearranged).
'town'+'clerk'+'id'='townclerkid'
'townclerkid' anagrammed gives 'TRICKLE-DOWN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for trickle-down that I've seen is " Slowly seep through".)
