It may not have been the question David Cameron wanted to hear so soon after the nail-biting finale to the vote in Scotland - but now he is being asked about devolution for Essex too.
Bob Russell - MP for Colchester - put it to the PM at the House of Commons today: "More people live in Essex than voted yes in the Scottish referendum. With fairness needed for citizens in all parts of the UK, would the prime minister agree than what Scotland gets so should the people of Essex and East Anglia."
Perhaps he has some of the TOWIE cast members in mind for some top jobs in a new independent Essex.
For good measure Mr Cameron made it clear that all parts of England should benefit from any powers being granted favourably to MPs there.
He said: "If we are, and I believe we should, keep our promises to the people of Scotland in terms of additional powers to the Scottish parliament, including powers over tax raising powers, then we must make sure than MPs for Essex or indeed other counties and towns in England have the ability to vote on these issues as they effect England in this house."
