Sir Samuel Fisher, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews since Sept. 1973, has been elevated to the Peerage. He becomes a life Peer with the title Baron (which in one of the five titles a member of the House of Lards can have). This means that the title is not inherited. In Sir Samuel’s case it does not matter because he and his wife, Millie, the new Lady Fisher, have only one daughter. Sir Samuel. 69, has been one of the most influential and effective Labor leaders at the municipal level.
