لقي مشروع القانون الذي تقدم به "فيليب هولوبون" لحظر ارتداء النقاب - إهمال البرلمان البريطاني في جلسته الأخيرة لهذا الموسم التشريعي في مجموعة أخرى من القوانين التي رفض المجلس مناقشتها.

فقد تقدم "هولوبون" - عضو حزب المحافظين - بالمذكرة في فترة مبكرة للمطالبة بحظر النقاب، الذي وصفه أنه "مسيء" و"مناهض لطبيعة الحياة البريطانية" إلا أن القانون فشل في الحصول على قراءة برلمانية ثانية وتم إهماله. المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

MP Philip Hollobone's planned law to ban wearing the burka in public is binned by Parliament

A LAW to ban the burka from being worn in public was among proposed legislation consigned to the dustbin today.

Tory Philip Hollobone's Face Coverings (Regulation) Bill failed to get a second reading on the last day for consideration of backbench MPs' Bills this parliamentary session.

Other legislation which failed to make progress included an attempt to set up a mechanism to oust failing MPs and an attempt to reintroduce terraces at football grounds.

Mr Hollobone (Kettering) has previously described the burka as "offensive" and "against the British way of life".

His legislation would also have outlawed balaclavas and other garments "intended by the wearer as its primary purpose to obscure the face".

Mr Hollobone's Bill was one of 48 pieces of legislation for which there was no time for debate after the day was dominated by consideration of the Daylight Saving Bill.

This meant that the Face Coverings (Regulation) Bill was able to be denied a second reading through a cry of "object" from MPs and a similar fate awaited most of the other Bills on the order paper.

Tory MP for Richmond Park Zac Goldsmith's Recall of Elected Representatives Bill would have allowed constituents to trigger a referendum on whether their MP should remain in office.

Liberal Democrat MP for Bath Don Foster's Safe Standing (Football Stadia) Bill also failed to make progress, but there was some consolation for him as his Live Music Bill cleared the Commons.
