what is the legal meaning of "having the right to lay you off in circumstances beyond control" when in a contract of employment. is it to avoid paying redundancy?

I have received a contract for a new job position which uses the sentence ....." company has a right to lay me off from work due to circumstances beyond their control" but my service would still be with the organisation and can still claim social welfare. Is this a get out clause to avoid paying me redundancy if my job become non existent? would I still be entitled to state redundancy? a bit of advice would be much appreciated!!!

Only if you are in the position more than 2 years as far as I know
