You just keep on going as you were. No cop will ever pull you for that. And if he did he would have hard time explaining to the Magistrate why he pulled you.
It is only undertaking if you are in the middle lane and come up behind a middle lane hogger and you peel off to the inside lane to overtake and then get back into the middle lane.

You could be correct Jambutty .. always found this rule a little ambiguous:-
242: Do not overtake on the left or move to a lane on your left to overtake. In congested conditions, where adjacent lanes of traffic are moving at similar speeds, traffic in left-hand lanes may sometimes be moving faster than traffic to the right. In these conditions you may keep up with the traffic in your lane even if this means passing traffic in the lane to your right. Do not weave in and out of lanes to overtake.
Always feel best to play safe though..
It does only state in congested conditions though, not clear motorways as I was trying to explain
