I am not aware of a statutory provision, but I would suggest that any walkway should be at least as wide as a standard door. If you are designing some guidelines for office layouts within your company, then you may need to think about disabled access too.
The Disabled Living Foundation specify minumum door widths of 750mm for internal doors, so it's probably unwise to go for anything less than that.

Hi-From memory, I seem to recall 11 cubic metres of workspace around each desk/workstation and heights more than 3m can not be counted.
This will be in the workplace regs 92 ACOP.
Hope that helps.
