HOLLAND has banned the full-face Islamic veil in government buildings, schools, hospitals and on public transport after a fierce debate on the burqa.

The ban does not completely forbid the veil in public places, but outlaws it "in specific situations where it is essential for people to be seen" or for security reasons.

"The bill does not have any religious background," prime minister Mark Rutte said.

The government had previously tried to pass a bill banning the burqa in all public places, but it will now be withdrawn.

Those breaching the ban can now be fined up to £285.
