The Committee for Advance of Money was set up by Parliament in November 1642. It first had to produce voluntary loans and subsequently compulsory assessments for the fight against King Charles I. From 1645 it had also to uncover the concealed resources of royalist delinquents. A sub-committee was in charge of reducing onerous assessments, 1643-1647. By 1650 the committee was an amalgam, joined with those for Sequestration and Compounding. Following the Acts of Pardon and Oblivion of 1651 its role diminished, and it ceased to function in 1656.
