One person familiar with the situation said Reilly had been requested to remain in China while the investigations proceeded and was happy to do so.

Both GSK and the British Embassy in Beijing said yesterday that Mr Reilly had not been detained by Chinese authorities.

Mr Reilly was replaced as GSK’s China head on July 25 after Chinese police accused the drugmaker of funnelling up to £305m to travel agencies to facilitate bribes to doctors and officials. GSK said at the time that he would continue to help the bribery investigation.
