No. There is no such thing except in the army. What we DO have is various Acts that can give emergency powers, such as the one that enabled Matt Hancock to make The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) Regulations 2020, which enable you to be fined for breaking the lockdown rules. And the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 allows the government some very wide-ranging powers in case of an emergency - I remember that being very controversial when it went through Parliament. That Act would be the nearest answer to the kind of thing you're looking for.
