Looks like you are right.
3. Check that every motorcycle tricycle or motorcycle quadricycle is
equipped with either;
a) two independent service braking devices fitted, one acting on the
front axle/one acting on the rear axle which together operate the brakes
on all the wheels
or
b) a single line service braking device that operates the brakes on all
wheels
and
c) a secondary (emergency) braking device ( that may be the parking
brake)
or
d) a dual/tandem service braking device which operates the brakes on
all wheels
and in addition to any of the above
e) a parking brake device that operates on the wheels of at least one axle
Acceptable combinations are: a) & e) or b),c) & e) or d) & e)

Hi Skidmark! Both rear wheels are braked using the foot pedal, and I've fitted the rear Disk calipers off an MGF so that the handbrake operates on both wheels too :)

This is a slightly older pic of the other side of the Trike (less the brake pedal, as I had to tweak it!);
