Government minister's ringer? (9)
I believe the answer is:
goldsmith
This clue is a double definition.
'government minister's' is the first definition.
(UK politician Zac Goldsmith)
'ringer?' is the second definition.
(Goldsmiths is a jewellers - rings are jewellery)
(Other definitions for goldsmith that I've seen before include "Craftsman; Oliver ---, Irish playwright" , "artisan worker" , "Precious metal worker" , "his output precious?" , "classic author" .)
