If the move is to raise the license fee to 65 pounds/year, what is the fee
now?

The licence fee is currently 46 pounds, according to an article which a British friend sent to me (about the crisis). The article also quotes Patrick Troughton (Doctor #2) as saying, "It is possible that the BBC is hoping there will be a public outcry about the series being too expensive for its resources." Colin Baker (the current Doctor) is also quoted as being "completely astonished" by the move to save cash for other productions (as Michael Grade put it). While I'm here, I will also chime in to join the group who say that having older episodes is not enough. I will probably see very little DW in the near future that I have not already seen (i.e. have had shipped from Chicago on videotape). Just a punishment for impatience, I suppose!

I believe 46 pounds, or something thereabouts.
