The Issue

Face covering is a security risk, It would help prevent the steep rise in violent crime, prevent anonymity in marauding gangs and facilitate identification. Exception can be made for safety helmets while driving, and face coverings authorised by a doctor for medical reasons.

A private members bill named Face coverings (prohibition) bill is an ideal example of how it could become law.

The original Bill was designed to 'prohibit the wearing of certain face coverings, and seeks to make it illegal for people to cover there faces in public spaces'

The ban must include the wearing of face covering headgear, including masks, helmets, baraclavas, niqabs, and other veils covering the face. The ban should be in place for all public spaces.
