The debate over whether to ban the burqa is set to be reignited in federal parliament.

Crossbench senator Jacqui Lambie has given notice she will move to introduce a private bill on Wednesday prohibiting full face coverings in public places.

Senator Lambie flagged a similar ban in 2014, proposing fines for anyone unlawfully wearing identity concealing garments in public.
