Page allowed to produce handbill (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leaflet

'handbill' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'page allowed to' is the wordplay.
'page' becomes 'leaf' (leaf can mean a page).
'allowed to' becomes 'let' (to let something happen is to allow it).
'leaf'+'let'='LEAFLET'

'produce' is the link.

(Other definitions for leaflet that I've seen before include "Brochure" , "Tract" , "Distribute small circulars" , "Distribute information" , "Printed handout" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
