Yes. Under H&S he can, he has to do it fairly though. In other words he has to treat all staff the same way, in the same situation.

He also has a right to watch your time keeping as well. BTW there is no legal right to a Fag break so if he is allowing you to take them thats a good point.

He can't do it to just one person though, he has to do it to his whole team/work are staff/what ever you guys call it ect.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

no reasonable rep would allow a manager to tell staff that they need to inform him if they need to go to toilet. This would be totally out of order and deny people their dignity.
Some people may have personal reasons why they need to go more than others,
Smoke breaks I can understand because this would seem unfair on non smokers

Yes, "personal reasons why they need to go more than others" like a good curry the previous evening. :nana :nana
