75% majority allowed to enter reports (8)

I believe the answer is:

bulletin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'enter reports' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'75% majority allowed' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'allowed' could be 'let' (to let is to allow or permit) and 'let' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bulletin that I've seen before include "Report for publication or broadcast" , "Short official statement of news" , "Short statement on the news as it happens" , "Short statement on the news as it comes in" , "Regular report" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
