The House of Representatives chamber and the numbers of seats for the parties

The list of members of the House of Representatives (2010-2012) is the list of members of the House of Representatives - the lower house of the States-General of the Netherlands - according to the outcome of the Dutch general election of 2010. The members of the new House of Representatives were installed on June 17, 2010. Their term ended on September 19, 2012. There has been a sizable number of mutations since due to the particular nature of the Dutch constitutional system. New members are supplied from their party lists so the resignation of individual members' seats does not change the balance of power in the States-General.

Only the originally elected and installed members are represented in this list.

  Parliamentary leaders (only the original ones) are in bold.
