No.  You'll never get to step 3.

In step 2 it says to stop if you find a DMARC record with psd=y and that the 
organizational domain is the one below the psd=y domain.  In the case of 
uk.com (or gov.uk) there is no domain one below the psd=y domain, so step 2 
yields no result and you never get to step 3.
