Former culture minister Lord Vaizey said he supported women being admitted as members. The former member told Today: “I don’t think the Garrick is a secret cabal of men that is quietly running a country, that has now been broken up. I think it’s just a convivial place where people go and have lunch and dinner, and that’s as valid for women as it is for men… When I was a member it really was quite backward — women couldn’t even walk up the front stairs.
