You can just say lack of funds because at this time Pakistan doesnt require a ICBM but they are going after it and spending a lot in it. If these funds are utilized by SUPARCO they might have at least built a SLV by now
Briton is a member of ESA so they do not require a separate space program
ICBM reports have been coming for years now, but there is no official policy or statement on it, thus all we can do best is speculate.
My own take is, ICBM is far away for now, range of upcoming missiles may increase, but MIRVs plus some ABM evading tech would be for now primary option.
I won't be discussing about ICBMs as personally i have not heard anything with that regard.
ESA came into existence in 1975, and UK joined it in 1980, thus what was UK doing before 1980 and as i said before, plz read about the Black Arrow program of UKs.
