The right to wear a full-face veil, and the end of the spare room subsidy.

Should Muslim women have the right to wear a full-face veil in court? Labour want to scrap the bedroom tax - what are your views? Presented by Julian Worricker.

A judge has ruled that a woman must remove her veil to give evidence to a court. She argues this breaches her human rights. Do you think Muslim women should have the right to wear a full-face veil in a court of law?

Since April, changes to housing benefit mean social housing tenants who have a spare room have either had to pay more in rent or move somewhere smaller. Labour say they plan to scrap it. What's your experience of the measure?
