Schlüter, Poul Holmskov (1929– )
Danish right-wing politician, leader of the Conservative People's Party (KF) from 1974 and prime minister 1982–93. His centre-right coalition survived the 1990 election and was reconstituted, with Liberal support. In January 1993 Schlüter resigned, accused of dishonesty over his role in an incident involving Tamil refugees. He was succeeded by Poul Nyrup Rasmussen.
Having joined the KF in his youth, he trained as a lawyer and then entered the Danish parliament (Folketing) in 1964.
