Ford had a real problem with this with their Kent (escort etc) engines
years ago. They provided a retrospective modification kit which was an
electrically powered air solenoid valve that was plumbed into the
intake manifold - switching off the ignition removed power from the
solenoid and air flowed into the manifold, the mixture was weakened
and it didn't run on.

Sounds complicated (in relation to the remainder of the vehicle !)

It's actually pretty easy. The biggest problem may be providing a suitable
outlet in the inlet manifold if the car doesn't have a brake servo (many
Minors have had one added)
If it has you use a T piece and rubber tubing to the valve and then simply
wire it up to the ignition. It is closed with the ignition on, open when
off, so lets air in to stop the engine when you switch off.
