		</div><p>The German parliament has approved a government proposal to ban the wearing of full-face veils for public servants while they are at work.<br />
The bill was proposed last year by security officials from German Chancellor Angela Merkel&#8217;s conservative bloc.<br />
They argued that wearing a burka or other face-covering veils in public schools, courts and other situations compromised public servants&#8217; neutrality, and that in many cases it is important for their identity to be known.<br />
The legislation also applies to soldiers.<br />
The law passed the lower house of parliament late on Thursday and still needs upper house approval.</p>
<p>Opponents have criticised the measure as merely symbolic, saying there are almost no public servants who wear such veils.</p>
