UK’s top civil servant and head of MI6 urged to quit Garrick Club

Critics say Simon Case and Richard Moore's membership of all-male club shows poor leadership and judgment

• Members list reveals roll-call of British establishment
• Garrick Club remains a bastion of male elitism
• Legal profession's most powerful among members

The UK's top civil servant and the head of MI6 have been urged to quit the Garrick Club amid criticism that their membership of an organisation that has repeatedly blocked women from joining showed poor leadership and judgment.

Simon Case, who as cabinet secretary is the leader of half a million civil servants, was also condemned for arguing he had only joined the London gentleman's club in an attempt to overturn its all-male policy.
