Gerard Heinrich Veringa (13 April 1924 – 29 December 1999) was a Dutch politician of the defunct Catholic People's Party (KVP) now merged into the Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA) party and criminologist.

Veringa worked as a civics teacher at Manhattan College in New York City from September 1948 until December 1949 and worked as a researcher at the University of Groningen from December 1949 until February 1952. Veringa worked as a civil servant for the Custodial Institutions Agency of the Ministry of Justice from February 1952 until January 1964 as a prison administrator in Zutphen from February 1952 until October 1955 and a prison administrator in The Hague from October 1955 until March 1962. Veringa served on the Municipal Council of Rijswijk from September 1958 until April 1967. Veringa also worked as a legal advisor for the Ministry of Justice from November 1959 until April 1967 and served as Director-General of the Custodial Institutions Agency from October 1961 until January 1964. Veringa worked as an associate professor of Criminology at the Radboud University Nijmegen from 1 January 1964 until 1 September 1965 and as a professor of Criminal law and Criminology at the Radboud University Nijmegen from 1 September 1965 until 5 April 1967. After the election of 1967 Veringa was appointed as Minister of Education and Sciences in the Cabinet De Jong, taking office on 5 April 1967. Veringa served as acting Minister of Culture, Recreation and Social Work from 7 January 1971 until 22 February 1971 during a medical leave of absence of Marga Klompé. After the Leader of the Catholic People's Party and Parliamentary leader of the Catholic People's Party in the House of Representatives Norbert Schmelzer unexpectedly announced that he was stepping down as Leader and Parliamentary leader in the House of Representatives, the Catholic People's Party leadership approached Veringa as a candidate to succeed him, Veringa accepted and became the Leader of the Catholic People's Party and became the Lijsttrekker (top candidate) of the Catholic People's Party for the election of 1971, taking office on 25 February 1971. The Catholic People's Party suffered a loss, losing 7 seats and fell back as the second largest party and now had 35 seats in the House of Representatives. Veringa was subsequently elected as a Member of the House of Representatives and as Parliamentary leader in the House of Representatives, taking office on 11 May 1971. The following cabinet formation of 1971 resulted in a coalition agreement between the Catholic People's Party, the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), the Anti-Revolutionary Party (ARP, the Christian Historical Union (CHU) and the Democratic Socialists '70 (DS'70) which formed the Cabinet Biesheuvel I with Veringa opting to remain in the House of Representatives instead of accepting a cabinet post in the new cabinet and he continued to serve in the House of Representatives as Parliamentary leader, the Cabinet De Jong was replaced by the new cabinet on 6 July 1971. On 16 August 1971 Veringa took a temporary medical leave of absence as Parliamentary leader but on 28 September 1971 Veringa unexpectedly announced that he was stepping down as Leader permanently but continued to serve in the House of Representatives as a backbencher. In January 1972 Veringa was nominated as Member of the Council of State, he resigned as a Member of the House of Representatives the same day he was installed as a Member of the Council of State, serving from 1 February 1972 until 1 May 1994. Veringa also became active in the public sector and occupied numerous seats as a nonprofit director on several boards of directors and supervisory boards and served on several state commissions and councils on behalf of the government (Council for Culture, Public Pension Funds APB, Cadastre Agency and the Probation Agency). Veringa was known for his abilities as a negotiator and consensus builder. Veringa continued to comment on political affairs until his is death at the age of 75. (en)
Gerard Heinrich Veringa (Groningen, 13 april 1924 – Rijswijk, 29 december 1999) was een Nederlands politicus. Veringa was een voorman van de KVP. Hij was minister van Onderwijs in het kabinet-De Jong en in 1971 lijsttrekker van zijn partij. Als criminoloog was hij topambtenaar van het gevangeniswezen en in Nijmegen buitengewoon hoogleraar. Tijdens zijn ministerschap vonden onder meer in 1969 de bezettingen plaats van eerst de Tilburgse universiteit en daarna het Maagdenhuis (UvA), uitingen van onvrede over de weinig democratische structuur van de universitaire wereld. Hij kwam aan de wens tot modernisering tegemoet via de Wet Universitaire Bestuurshervorming. Veringa werd in 1971 partijleider en lijsttrekker van de KVP, omdat hij een progressiever imago had dan De Jong. Hij moest echter al in 1972 de politiek verlaten vanwege zijn gezondheid en werd staatsraad. In 1977 was hij (in)formateur tijdens de mislukte formatie van een tweede kabinet-Den Uyl. Hij was getrouwd met Elisabeth Christina (Betty) Swarte (1929-2008). Zij kregen vijf kinderen. (nl)
