Do you have a cite for GPS claim? I would have assumed that UK would have access to GPS military services as a member of NATO.

If the best they can do is piggyback on GPS, then it leaves them subservient to the US's military interests. Of course that's ideal, but it's not necessarily practical for any given country. The UK and the US are extremely close military allies, and the US is also very close to NATO. I'd be pretty surprised if the US actually blocked such allies from using the GPS military services, which is the GGP's claim.
