Kemi Badenoch hit out at Reform MPs for backing a burka ban today, saying policing what people wear would be a waste of officers' time.
The Opposition leader said that she was against women being forced to wear clothing against their wishes.
But she suggested that Reform's support for a ban on the Islamic outfit - which covers the whole body, apart from a gauze veil over the eyes - was 'a policy without a plan'.
At the weekend Ms Badenoch backed giving employers the right to insist staff wore clothing that showed their face at work.
But speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme this morning, she appeared to rule out going any further.
