No, the BBC is funded through the licence fee, not the budget. It's a weird system but the idea is that the government can't just turn on/off the funding spigot to put pressure on the BBC.
Of course, they still manage to put pressure on in other ways, by appointing board members etc
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.
