Generally, unless a hydroxide is in excess over a weak acid as $\ce{H2O2}$ - and it was said it is not - $\mathrm{pH}$ would be always lower than pH of the hydroxide. $$\mathrm{pH}=\mathrm{p}K_ \mathrm{a} + \log \frac{[\ce{A-}]}{[\ce{HA}]}$$ As there is the weak acid excess over the hydroxide, the hydroxide is used to form the buffer solution of hydrogen peroxide and it's salt. Additionally, if the conjugate basis $\ce{A-}$ is eliminated by precipitation, the ratio $ \frac{[\ce{A-}]}{[\ce{HA}]}$ is kept low and so does $\mathrm{pH}$. Note also the hydrogen peroxide is weakly acidic even without addition of sulphuric acid and that it's $ \mathrm{p}K_ \mathrm{a}$ depends on $\ce{H2O2}$ concentration.
