This part of the parliamentary debate seems to indicate the UK Gov't did not wish to set a precedent?

Has this set a precident?

it was featured on the One show last night 18th Feb - (at the start).
my understanding is the the residents have been courting publicity for a while and it has made it to the Scottish Parliment debate chamber . I understand SPOSH has been determined, but the site has not been determined as CL. and the intention is to remediate and avoid CL determination.
There was a request to HMRC to waive Landfill Tax on remediation costs which were a significant component of the costs (c. £300k)which was rejected.
