@Arthur Michael Robinson:

Of course it is Legal Aid and payments that are being cut. The main impacts are on two "classes" of people over which the public at large (Read; Voters) have little or no affinity with or sympathy for: The Legal Profession and Criminals.

Couple that with the fact that withdrawing legal aid for Civil matters such as Divorce, these initiatives make very good headlines to the Conservative voters. Those who can't afford a divorce now are part of the society that would never vote Tory anyway, so Win / Win as far as the Government is concerned.
