Prime Minister David Cameron will write to the Saudi Arabian government about a UK pensioner imprisoned for possessing alcohol, Downing Street has said.
It follows concern from the children of Karl Andree that the 74-year-old will receive 360 lashes for the crime.
But BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner said Saudi and UK officials had assured him "there was never any question" of Mr Andree being flogged.
Delays in Saudi bureaucracy meant his release papers were held up, he said.
Our correspondent said Saudi officials had given private assurances to the UK Foreign Office.
