You can get those cable tie bases without adhesive I believe... stick them to the membrane with some grip adhesive or something. You'll just need to be careful you don't rip it. Personally... however you solve the problem... take lots of pictures as proof the membrane wasn't damaged when you've finished.
 
Sorted thanks for the replies.
I used the sticky bases that wilko suggested they really stick quite well to the membrane and hold the cables fine.
Was going to clip to the stud but called the plasterer and he had decided he was just dot n dabbing boards over the membrane.
Just hope he follows the plan now and leaves me enough depth for drylining boxes.
Cheers guys

That makes life easier for you.

One other thing to consider - is the plasterer using insulated plasterboard? If so, think about how you'll contain your cables behind the board as the insulation material on the back of the plasterboard can react with the plasticizers within PVC insulation overtime.

Can't remember the name of the process but it can cause insulation failure over a period of time

An example of the long term race to the bottom of quality of work in our industry, IMHO.
