Description | An MP is calling for an inquiry into safety at Kellingley Colliery in North Yorkshire following the death of a miner on Tuesday.
Gerry Gibson was killed and a colleague was injured when a roof collapsed.
Jon Trickett, Labour MP for neighbouring Hemsworth, West Yorkshire, said he wanted an "absolute" reassurance it would not happen again.
UK Coal, which operates Kellingley, said initial investigations had failed to find an obvious cause.
Mr Gibson, a father-of-two from Sherburn-in-Elmet, North Yorkshire, is the third miner to be killed at Kellingley in the last four years.
Ian Cameron died after equipment fell on him on 18 October 2009 and in September 2008, Don Cook died in a rock fall.
