It is unlikely that there are any employment laws in the UK which require tea-breaks when you are working in a fixed environment such as an office or a factory. You need to consult a qualified law-person face to face, or consult your trade union if you belong to one.
There are laws about "breaks" for drivers of HGVs etc.

you are entitled to a break every 4 and a half hours

You must be either from UK or Australia and as such your government probably has labor laws to protect those who are not part of a labor union.
I suggest you investigate the laws concerning breaks there.They should be posted somewhere on line too.
this is what I found on line.

Keep in mind that an employer can offer longer breaks and more breaks than that, he just can't insist on shorter breaks than are required by law.
