in april 2010, the "daily mail" reported that james caan and duncan bannatyne were involved in a 'bitter row' over tax. bannatyne claimed pakistan-born caan had an 'unfair' business advantage due to his non-domiciled tax status. he complained that, because caan does not pay uk tax on his overseas earnings, he has more money to invest in his uk ventures. caan told the london "evening standard": "i do not apologise for my country of origin, pakistan." he also said he could not invest with anyone who had a criminal record - a reference to bannatyne's having served a sentence in military prison when he was a teenager in the royal navy. bannatyne replied that caan was 'playing the race card' and 'personalising the whole thing', and accused him of implying he was racist. only days before the filming of series 8, bannatyne went on to twitter, pointing out that caan is chairman of the "big issue", which employs sellers with criminal pasts, and asking how they could now work with their chief. he brought the name of the "big issue" founder into the row by asking: 'did john bird know about james caan's view on ex-prisoners when he gave him the chairman's role?' further fanning the flames for caan was a well publicised critique of accusations that he offered to buy a baby from a family in pakistan. on 7 january 2011, the bbc announced james caan had quit the "dragons' den" panel. the bbc announced regret and sorrow over the exit and thanked him for his efforts over his four series in the show. clive morgan of "the daily telegraph" criticised his departure, stating his exit was the show's loss and it would not be the same without him. he was replaced by hilary devey in february 2011.
