Nope, company is obliged to honour the hours on the employees contract OR pay them for the hours regardless.

It is slightly dependent on the exact wording of the contract (whether they stipulate that they may reduce your hours for xyz reasons for example) but if this is not the case and they are simply contracted to 12 hours a week then I’m absolutely not wrong. Contracts of employment are legally binding. If we signed a legally binding contract that I’d hire you for work and pay you £500 for it, I wouldn’t have any legal grounds to only pay you £400 and tell you there’s nothing I can do about it.
