Written authority (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mandate

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for mandate that I've seen before include "directive" , "Official order or commission to do something" , "Official command; commission" , "Authorization, official instruction" , "Authority to act" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
