PAC
at the moment I am reading "The Road to Wigan Pier", written by George Orwell.

the abbrevation "PAC" is used in following content:

In chapter 1. page 6: "..an unemployed man on the PAC named Joe..."

In chapter 2. page 44, "..get something from the dole or the PAC."

my question: for what PAC stands for ?

 * Googling PAC "George Orwell" suggests turning to page 71 of the book and finding "Public Assistance Committee". 85.76.79.55 (talk) 17:02, 15 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Link to Wikipedia article (or, rather, a stub): Public Assistance Committee. --Lambiam 20:43, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
