File photo dated 10/07/23 of a general view of BBC Broadcasting House, in central London. Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer has said that a £15 rise in the BBC licence fee would be "high" amid reports that Rishi Sunak is set to block a 9% hike in the annual charge. The corporation is seeking to make £500 million of savings in the face of high inflation and a two-year freeze to the price of a TV licence, which provides most of its funding.
