If only one brake switch or wires to it, has failed, the other switch
should still light up the brake lights.

I don't have a Bentley in front of me, but would suggest looking at
the grounds to these lights. If memory serves, the ground wires run to
the black junction box in the engine bay. Maybe a dirty connector
there? And if memory serves, some tail lights might share a ground.
