Dutch city spread truth about its own admin body (7)
I believe the answer is:
utrecht
'dutch city' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for utrecht that I've seen before include "Dutch city, province; Seventeen-thirteen treaty" , "European treaty?" , "Netherlands city, scene of 1713 Treaty" , "Dutch city where treaty was signed in 1713" , "City of historic treaty, 1713" .)
