International bearing on criminal record for grass (6)
I believe the answer is:
inform
'grass' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'international bearing on criminal record' is the wordplay.
'international' becomes 'i' (abbreviation eg in IMF).
'bearing' becomes 'n'.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'criminal record' becomes 'form' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'i'+'n'+'form'='INFORM'
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for inform that I've seen before include "Spill the beans" , "Impart knowledge" , "Let people know" , "Enlighten" , "Tell (someone)" .)
