Kevin Hollinrake is now asked about whether the UK should ban the burka, as Reform's newest MP, Sarah Pochin, asked the PM last week.
The shadow housing secretary says that he believes "some of our communities are dividing" and he thinks this can be partly attributed to things such as the burka.
He says: "We need to have a proper debate about the burka. I think Kemi Badenoch said workplaces should be able to decide [their] own rules in terms of dress. That was probably as far as she wanted to go right now. But we should, we should have a proper conversation."
Hollinrake adds that he believes his leader, Kemi Badenoch, isn't in favour of banning the burka - but he says that this item of clothing can be worn due to "coercion".
"I don't want to see that. We're in a tolerant society where people should have free will", he says.
"I don't think we should go around telling women what to wear. I think some people in our communities are."
Constituents should remove 'balaclavas or burkas' when speaking to MPs
Hollinrake adds that he doesn't have many Muslim constituents but that if a woman wearing a burka came to his constituency office with an issue, he would probably ask them to remove the veil over their face as "it can be seen as a barrier to communication".
Asked if this doesn't suggest a lack of understanding about the Muslim faith, he responds that he "doesn't think it's right" to cover your face, "whether it be a balaclava or a burka".
