HC Deb 13 July 1981 vol 8 c289W
Mr. Adley

asked the Paymaster General if he will make a statement about the circumstances under which he will pay an emergency advance to persons owed sums by the Exchequer in the light of the current strike by civil servants.

Mr. Pym

As far as the payment of pensions from my office at Crawley is concerned, emergency arrangements, under which those in need may apply for an advance, have been publicised in advertisements placed in the national press.
