Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what information his Department holds on the amount of money paid to proxies who took Toeic English language tests in place of the actual candidates.

Criminal investigations conducted by the Home Office concerning TOEIC abuse have revealed evidence that proxy test takers were receiving money for taking the TOEIC tests on behalf of actual candidates. The amounts varied; but, evidence indicates that they were being paid in the region of £30-£50 per test.
