Urgent requirement for an iron? (8,4)
I believe the answer is:
pressing need
'for an iron?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'urgent requirement' is the wordplay.
'urgent' becomes 'pressing' (synonyms).
'requirement' becomes 'need' (synonyms).
'pressing'+'need'='PRESSING NEED'
