Domain registration and domain hosting are two different things.

All uk domains are associated with a tag holder.  The tag holder is
usually the administrative contact for the domain, the domain remains
the property of the registrant, though.

Anyone can host DNS for a domain and it's the reponsibility of the tag
holder to ensure the DNS servers listed in the whois for the domain are
correct.

DNS and mail hosting are two seperate issues.  There's no requirement
for MX records to be present for a domain.
