The civilian authorities are running the country (or at least the area that they control), so it's not under martial law per se, but Parliament has passed legislation temporarily giving the military primacy in enforcing law and order. I'm assuming that towns and cities within the area controlled by HMG will still have a number of civilian police*, who will be working in conjunction with the military. The way I envisage it is that police officers will accompany military patrols, in urban areas at least.

* I haven't done any sort of headcount of how many police any given area might have.
