No, the BBC is funded through the licence fee, not the budget.

That's not how BBC funding works. The money the BBC's contractors collect goes to His Majesty's Bank Balance (or, the Consolidated Fund if you want to use official euphemisms). There is an annual vote for an Appropriation Act that returns a portion of His Majesty's Bank Balance to fund the BBC for the year.
