Government proposals seek money from society (5)
I believe the answer is:
bills
'government proposals' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'seek money from society' is the wordplay.
'seek' becomes 'bil' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'money' becomes 'l' (L can mean 'pounds').
'from' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'society' becomes 's' (common abbreviation in names of organisations).
'bil'+'l'+'s'='BILLS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bills that I've seen before include "Beaks" , "Invoices" , "Draft laws" .)
