If you're using the evdev driver for keyboard and mouse (you should
be!) then something like this in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf might help.
# Configuration for evdev-controlled input devices.
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "pointer"
Driver "evdev"
MatchIsPointer "on"
EndSection
The bit about "XkbLayout" "gb" should do the trick. [Just be aware that
there is a national language code "uk", but it is for Ukrainian.]
