The Land Settlement (Facilities) Act 1919 (9 & 10 Geo. 5. c. 59) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed in the United Kingdom following World War I. The act allowed local governments (namely county councils) to provide smallholdings (farmland) to veterans of the war. It eliminated the need for the recipient of the land to have experience or training in farming.
For example, Surrey County Council purchased more than 2,000 acres of land created small holdings for over 250 service men empowered by the Land Settlement (Facilities) Act 1919.
