I have a Raspberry Pi 5 where I have two users. One has the correct keyboard-settings, the other defaults to "UK". When logged in as the user with the incorrect setting I see, in the Control Center, "Layout: English (US)", and "US (United States)" as the locale.
What di I need to do to get the correct setting?

Which operating system do you run? On Debian, I had to install kbd, as this is not included in the default Debian Raspberry Pi images.
kbd is part of the full Trixie image:
kbd/stable,now 2.7.1-2 arm64 [installed,automatic] Linux console font and keytable utilities
Move to the UK
I thought you were a Reform supporter, surely you don't want Johnny foreigner moving here. Although, to be fair The Hague is already closer to me than say Liverpool, and the Dutch do speak better English.
Have you tried
Terminal > sudo raspi-config
to check the settings?
Could it be that user has a login shell script which is using setxkbmap or some such command to change the keyboard locale?
