If a constituent came to my MP’s surgery with her face obscured, I should feel fully entitled – like Jack Straw – to ask her to remove it so that I could talk to her properly.
I find this logic a real stretch. I don't think I've ever had a face to face conversation with anyone wearing a veil, but I speak to people on the phone every day and never have trouble understanding them despite never seeing their faces.
