One very simple reason GPS is not used for approaches in the UK....not invented there. 'Tis a US system and therefore cannot be trusted.
And for those that mention jamming, these schedules are published well in advance (in the USA) so ops can be planned accordingly.
Have used GPS in my private aeroplane for the last five years and have found it dead-on, every time, approaches included.
