Baron Hayter

Baron Hayter, of Chislehurst in the County of Kent, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1927 for the businessman George Hayter Chubb. He had already been created a Baronet in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom in 1900. Chubb was Chairman and Managing Director of the firm Chubb and Sons Lock and Safe Co Ltd, established by his grandfather Charles Chubb in the early 19th century. The Barony title 'Hayter' was the maiden name of George Hayter Chubb's mother, and was selected in preference to 'Chubb', as it was not considered appropriate for names of corporations to be attributed to members of the House of Lords. As of 2007 the titles are held by his great-grandson, the fourth Baron, who succeeded his father in 2003.

As of 30 June 2006, the present holder of the barony has not successfully proven his succession to the baronetcy and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage. However, the case is under review by the Registrar of the Baronetage (for more information follow this [http://www.baronetage.org/unproven.htm link] ).
