Most people in Britain hold a critical opinion on the veils worn by some Muslim women, according to a poll by Angus Reid Public Opinion. 67 per cent of respondents say that garments that conceal a woman’s face represent an affront to British values, while 25 per cent disagree with this notion.

However, 58 per cent of respondents believe the government should not be allowed to tell individuals what they can and cannot wear.

About 1.5 million Muslims currently reside in Britain.
