Tom van der Lee (born 9 July 1964) is a Dutch politician representing the GroenLinks who has served in the House of Representatives since the 2017 general election. He was re-elected four years later, and he received a third term in the 2023 general election.[1] Van der Lee's portfolio has subsequently included finances.[2]
In December 2024, when finance minister Eelco Heinen intended to privatize De Volksbank, Van der Lee called on him through a motion to keep the bank, which had been nationalized in 2013 during the European debt crisis, state-owned. An overwhelming majority of the House adopted the motion, in which Van der Lee argued that the bank served a societal function because of its extensive network of locations and its sustainable investment portfolio.[3][4]
