Henricus Josephus Clemens Smulders (born 17 October 1942, Tilburg) is a Dutch entrepreneur, banker and former politician on behalf of the Pim Fortuyn List.
Smulders was a sailor with the merchant navy and then worked for the Nedlloyd shipping company. He later became a banker and business consultant.[1][2][3]
Smulders was elected to the Member of the House of Representatives during the 2002 Dutch general election for the Pim Fortuyn List (LPF) party. In parliament, he was a member of the parliamentary inquiry into construction fraud. During the inquiry, he sometimes clearly showed his annoyance about the abuses in the construction industry.[1] After Smulders' term in parliament ended, he stood for the Senate in 2003 and again on the LPF's list during the 2004 European Parliament election but was unsuccessful in both.[4][5]
