The gas supply pipe is a bayonet fitting and I've been told that I can

used or accessible in future so I need to know that it is safe and secure.

Guess I'm looking for reassurance really

Yes - they are designed to be "user removable". But give it a sniff
afterwards just to make sure it's not leaking.

I'm not sure on the implications of making it "not accessible" though. I
would have thought getting it capped off permanently would be better - but
I'm sure someone will be along in a minute to give a better opinion.

Recently I got one of these fitting cut off and capped .I thought that
was the best solution although it hadn't been used for several years
but it was in the way of other things .
