Not according to CAP413:
section 39 "All messages relating to an aircraft’s climb or descent to a HEIGHT or ALTITUDE employ the word ‘to’ followed immediately by the word HEIGHT or ALTITUDE. Furthermore, the initial message in any such RTF exchange will also include the appropriate QFE or QNH" which gives the example "G-CD, descend to height 1000 feet QFE 997 hectopascals".
or section 4.43, 4.44, 4,64, 4.84 and many others too.
