Good luck with the build! I was wondering if you are going to have to run a cat, as the engine is post '91?
Interresting question, I am unsure of the regulation in the UK. I am from the NL myself.
But here I believe they will regard the year the car was first registered to determine which emmision standards are used. Also back in the day when catalysts were not yet common practise, some cars had them from factory already. If so, this is stated on your license papers (unsure what these are called over there); in this case the cat may not be removed.

Not using cat just the 4 branch manifold, then joining it to a rc40. my understanding is that the mini is registered in 1987 and therefore dosn't need a cat. my friendly mot tester used to mot my previous classic (triumph spitfire with a 2.0 ford focus zetec engine running on a non cat pipe and twin dcoe webers ) and never raised any concerns regarding emmissions.
Yeah we didn't have cats here on Mini's untill SPi, the carbed 91 Coopers were a transition phase. Guess in UK it's also irrelevant what year the block is, what matters is age of vehicle

Oh, I was interested to know what year Micra the engine is from, I see it has an injector for each port, is that the same for all K11s? I ask because I can only find fuel rails for post 99 cars.
Very interested to see how the manifold goes, are you hoping to be able to make one that clears the bulkhead?

If so you do not need a catalyic converter Rids. The emmissions test will be performed to the oldest part, car or engine

I think I'd knock something like that, get it running and maybe get one made when I was happy with the conversion if I was doing it. No sense in spending hundreds now for you to find you're not satisfied in a few months!
