Dont you think tho that this is also down to whether or not a unit pays for lunch breaks or not? A 37.5 hr week with half an hour unpaid lunch vs 40 hrs with paid lunch break implies that the hourly wage for the 37.5 hr week is higher than it is when in reality you spend the same length of time actually working.
I should hope not as that would be illegal under The Working Time Regulations (1998, rev 2003). [:0] For work days of more than 6 hours a break has to be WITHIN work time.
