Your employer must give you at least the rest breaks required by the Working Time Regulations. They must also ensure that your health and safety is not put at risk. This means that your employer might have to give you more than the amount set out in the regulations, if this reduces a health and safety risk.
The amount of break time you get is usually agreed with your employer. It may be written down somewhere (eg in your contract of employment) or might just be part of your employer's standard practice.
reff:Rest breaks - a break during your working day
As an adult worker (over 18), you will normally have the right to a 20 minute rest break if you are expected to work more than six hours at a stretch.

From the information givent in that article I'm not sure I agree with their judgement. Doesn't seem that there was any "forcing" of her to miss lunch times, just that she carried on working regardless. The judgement seemed to be saying that it was the emplyers responsibility to tell her to take her lunch?bowell said:A good read
Employer should have arranged regular lunch break for diabetic employee
