Minis have a great handbrake when it is adjusted properly. It will certainly slow you down in an emergency, probably just as well as half a dual circuit system.

I've had this situation once before many years ago. Pulling on the hand brake in an emergency made the rear end of the mini fishtail all over the shop. I mounted the passenger side curb, whipped acorss to the other side of the road and finally straightened her up. I missed the parked car, but if there was anything on either side of the road I would have been creamed!
