Martin, that is exactly the command i was looking for.
I have just run it and everything seems to be working as expected.

grep ^X /etc/default/console-setup
XKBMODEL="macbook79"
XKBLAYOUT="gb"
XKBVARIANT="mac"
XKBOPTIONS=""

Interestingly it has allowed me to drop the USA keyboard layout in GDM now too, which
i could not previously do. It would just come back after the next reboot.

xprop -root |grep NAMES.S
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "macbook79", "gb", "mac,", ""

Thank you to both Martin and Matt for resolving this issue!
If there is any further feedback you require would be more than happy to assist.
