There is no reason for legal aid as such to be a subsidy. The threshold for legal merit in a case should rise, and there should be an additional test - for example that a well funded private litigant would consider it worthwhile to pursue the case. Then the legal aid charge should turn out to be capable of recovering expenditure.
