Losing job whilst on maternity leave. UK only please!?

I am shortly due to go on maternity leave. Under the terms of my contract i will be on full pay for 12 weeks and then on statutory pay for the remaining period of time. I have been working with my employer for about 15 months.

If they choose to make me redundant whilst I'm on maternity leave how does it work? I can't presumably get redundancyy pay as I have been there for less than 2 years. Would they give me my standard notice of 3 months pay? Confused! Any help would be much appreciated.
