I think it would depend on how temporary.
If it's for protection from damaging the extension cable for a short while, I cant see a problem.( If done to a good standard)
If it was to supply a more permanent feed then I would use the SWA.
Also if you plug it into the house circuit, make sure it's on an RCBO in the consumer unit or on a plug in one.
Will save frying yourself on wet grass.

After checking electrician forums there seems some debate whether using the conduit makes it subject to Part P ?
Its whether you install a new circuit or not that makes it a notifiable job. (all electrical work falls under part P, just some is not notifiable). If you spur off a socket from the house then just get on with it, if you run a sub main from the consumer unit then its notifiable. However if you were able to do the job then you would know this already.
