If they decided to bring in age verification for VPN's I imagine that they'd treat those that don't comply in the same way that they say they will treat porn sites that refuse to comply ie ban UK companies from doing business with them and make the VPN site unavailable to those in the UK.
I suppose that a legitimate VPN could be used to access a proscribed VPN, but there wouldn't be much point
