Someone writing on MacRumurs forum has/had similar problems but it's
not clear if the problem is resolved. Were you not prompted to
connect bluetooth devices on start up?

Or get suitable USB-C to A adapters? You can get them from Amazon, eBay
etc.

If this is a new Mini, not a new-old one like a 2014, surely there are
Thunderbolt/USB-C ports on the back?
One thunderbolt port driving the display!
Right, started up the mini with the keyboard and mouse connected to the display via cables and, after a prompt to switch both on, they paired seamlessly. So far so good.
Next, I had both computers connected by Ethernet via the router and
launched migration assistant. All went well for around 20 hours till it got to about 3/4s of the way through transferring about 1TB on information when it stalled. It’s been stalled for around 3 hours now at 480018 files transferred.
The question is what can I do now?

If you are migrating from Intel to Silicon there's a school of thought that says "don't".
There could be problems with apps as MA won't replace Intel apps with M1 equivalents for
instance. You may end up having to install your apps from scratch. I guess you try again
but excluding app?

It's not correct. I migrated my iMac Pro over to the M1 MBP, and I've
not had to manually update anything. I have a few Intel apps, mostly
games, and nothing I use regularly. All my normal set sorted themselves
out to Universal at some point.

Great! Then with a bit of luck GW should be OK. As I said, I deliberately left out apps when I migrated nearly 2 years now - doesn't time fly ;)

That's useful to know, it is what I suspected. Once I've done the
migration ( projected to be the wee small hours at the moment) I will
have to check for updates. I suspect the OS will be the first to need updating, don't, as yet, know which version it shipped with.

Incidentally it runs reasonably well on ‘Silicon’ Macs too if you ever want
to use an alternative news client.
