Official orders or proclamations (6)
I believe the answer is:
edicts
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'official orders' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'proclamations' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for edicts that I've seen before include "Commands" , "Orders proclaimed by authorities" , "'Decrees, fiats (6)'" , "'Decrees, orders (6)'" , "rulings" .)
