I think this is to do with rights for .uk as DVT posted. If someone owns an equivalent .co.uk to the .uk, they have the rights on the .uk also until around 2019. Which means they can register the .uk at any time before 2019, after which it becomes a free for all.
This was to enable nominet to get .uk out there without causing massive litigation.
