Redundancy after telling employer about pregnancy?

Hi I've just had a phone call from my wife.
She has had a letter delivered to her at work saying her job is at risk of redundancy and she has a consultation meeting tomorrow at 16.00
2 weeks ago, she was off Ill after finding out she was pregnant, she was off work a week with bad sickness so she told work the reason why she was off. She has been back to work a week not feeling great but doesn't want to take any time off.
She works by herself in a sales office selling apartments. She is very highly thought of by her area manager etc and has excellent sales record. There are 4 apartments left in the block she is working in, but it is a funny situation. I don't know the full story but a bank owns them and they won't take low offers to get rid, so lately she has not sold much.
Her employer is renovating a site nearby and she is supposed to be starting work there soon, and was due to market the remaining properties from there and do viewings etc....
They have told her today that she need to come up with ideas as to what she can do for the next 2 months until this new block is ready
What sort of questions should she be asking tomorrow in this meeting? Doesn't haves long to prepare really as she was only told at 17:00 today!
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Richard
