UPDATED 10.34am: New Zealand Police are assessing recent information in relation to their investigation of embattled National MP Todd Barclay.
Assistant Commissioner Richard Chambers confirmed the review of information to the NZ Herald this morning.
"NZ Police are assessing the information that has been discussed publically in recent days in relation to any impact on the findings of the original Todd Barclay inquiry."
Police closed a 10-month investigation after Barclay's former electorate agent, Glenys Dickson, claimed he secretly recorded her conversations, saying there was insufficient evidence.
That was despite Prime Minister Bill English providing a statement that Barclay told him he left a dictaphone running in his electorate office, recording his staff.
Barclay declined to be interviewed by police, and told media he refuted the allegations.
However, after English released his police statement yesterday, Barclay read a short statement to media saying he regretted "misleading" statements, and he accepted English's statement as correct.
In a further development last night, Newstalk ZB reported a private security firm was alleged to have put CCTV into Barclay's electorate office, at his request, to observe a staff member.
Finance Minister Steven Joyce today declined to back Barclay, and said Barclay's statements yesterday "didn't match up".
However, Joyce told Mike Hosking on Newstalk ZB he expected Barclay to still be Clutha-Southland MP by the end of today.
Asked if Barclay was a liar, Joyce said, "well, I must say, his two statements yesterday didn't exactly match up, did they? But that's for him to sort out, and it's actually for him to sort out for the party in Clutha-Southland."
Asked if he wanted Barclay to quit, Joyce said "I don't have a view on that".
This morning, Labour leader Andrew Little said Barclay's statement last night - and refusal to answer media questions - was "an expression of arrogance".
"It didn't show any contrition at all about the impact on Glenys Dickson. Not even on his leader. And he turned on his heels and walked away."
Police tried to speak to Barclay after claims in 2016 that he had recorded Dickson, his senior electorate agent, without her knowledge, which he denied.
Barclay told reporters he would co-operate with the police but his lawyer later said he would not. The investigation was dropped because of a lack of evidence and in March this year it was revealed that Barclay had refused to co-operate.
Meanwhile, Todd Barclay remains an elusive figure at Parliament today.
He's remained unavailable for questions after making a brief statement last night, and has avoided media waiting for him at parliament this morning.
He's also not attended a select committee he was due to be at this morning - with his party confirming he had been given leave not to attend.
However he remains on Parliamentary duty with the Prime Minister's Office saying Mr Barclay has not been given leave to be absent from parliament.
