France's doomed people carrier? (7)
I believe the answer is:
tumbril
'france's doomed people carrier?' is the definition.
(type of cart used to take people to guillotine)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for tumbril that I've seen before include "Conveyance to the guillotine" , "Cart that carried prisoners to the guillotine" , "form of transport" , "Transport to the guillotine; limb rut (anag.)" , "Transport to guillotine; Mr built (anag.)" .)
