Over-protective government in Granville? (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
nanny state
'government in granville?' is the definition.
'nanny state' can be an answer for 'government' (I have seen 'Overprotective government ' mean 'nanny state' so perhaps 'government' could also mean 'nanny state'). I'm not certain of the 'in granville?' bit.
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nanny state that I've seen before include "Overprotective government deplored by Thatcher" , "Interfering government" , "Interfering authorities" , "Undue government interference with personal choice?" .)
