Answer
The answer that the first black UK peer was Learie Constantine is incorrect. While he was a prominent cricketer and politician, the distinction of being the first black UK peer belongs to Lord David Pitt. Pitt, a Guyanese-born British politician, was appointed to the House of Lords in 1997 and served as the UK government's International Development Minister.
