Jack Straw MP has suggested that when any Muslim women come to his surgery, they should remove the face covering veil during the meeting with him. His reason – he cannot read a face that he cannot see.

Tricky one that because I can see and agree with both sides of the argument. However as the UK is not a Muslim country (yet) I think that Jack Straw MP has a point.

I would also ask, if a Muslim women was in court either as a witness or a defendant would she be allowed to retain the veil?
