If you're unsure of your rights, check with ACAS. To give you an idea we allow a tea break for 10 minutes (paid - even though we dont have to) in the morning, then a 30 minute lunch break in the afternoon on a normal 8 hour day.
If one of my employees spent an additional 10 minutes in the toilet to extend their lunch break every day I wouldnt be impressed. If its similar to factory work, every minute is accountable.
