Netherlands hopes to introduce a ban on the wearing of the full Islamic veil early next year, the interior ministry said Friday."We hope that the ban on wearing face-restrictive clothing will come into force at the start of 2013," spokeswoman Vera Hoogendoorn told AFP. "Everything depends on the speed with which the law is passed in the upper and lower chambers of parliament," she said.
Deputy Prime Minister and Economy Minister Maxime Verhagen said Friday the proposal would be put to vote at the bicameral parliament after being cleared by the State Council, the highest administrative court.
