HC Deb 25 January 1989 vol 145 c619W
Mr. Harry Barnes

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make a statement on the events leading up to the collapse of 30 m of roof in 91's main site heading at High Moor colliery in which 10 miners were trapped in an accident on 13 January.

Mr. Michael Spicer

This is primarily a matter for British Coal and the Health and Safety Executive's mines and quarries inspectorate. I understand that they are each carrying out their own investigations into the cause or causes of the accident.
