'Ships' Names and Badges Committee' I beleive. They seem to have taken to specifically reviving historic names for new vessels (Type 31, FSSBN)
It's interesting to note that Queen Elizabeth was also the suggested/intended name for CVA01 in the 60s. The difference then was the suggestion for a second ship (CVA-02) was Duke of Edinburgh rather than Prince of Wales.
