'received about legislative measure' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'blunt answer's' is the wordplay.
'blunt' becomes 'joint' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'answer' becomes 'resolution' (synonyms).
'joint'+'resolution'='JOINT RESOLUTION'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for joint resolution that I've seen before include "showing firmness on cannabis" , "United congressional action" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
