Yes. There is a switch located behind the clutch pedal to must be depressed (when the clutch pedal is pressed all the way down) in order for the ignition circuit to be completed. Therefore the car will not start if the clutch pedal is not pressed all the way down. Starting a car while it is in gear can be very damaging to the transmission.
