Thanks to all for the assistance.

Andrew, I like that clue better!

By the way: 10 double definitions in 31 clues! A record?

Thanks Agentzero. 16ac seemed very familiar - a bit of searching found the puzzle by Puck in the Guardian that I blogged recently, which had the clue: Choke or accelerator? (8)

Thanks for the blog, Agentzero.

The word ‘tender’ is often used in the phrase ‘to tender one’s resignation’.
I thought that might justify the use of the word ‘finally’ in the clue.

Thanks, Agentzero.

In 23ac, it’s ‘partial’ in the sense of ‘not total’, i.e. ‘not altogether’.

Eggspoon is used for removing the shell from an egg before the soldiers (fingers of bread) are put in.
