Actually, Keith (see thread title), there has never been a POLITICAL decision about who is head of the Church of England.
Perhaps one day there will be a public consultation among the English People on this matter.
Currently, there does not appear to be any public opinion in this matter.
In the 1970s, Labour and the Conservatives had around 3 million members each, now they have little over one hundred thousand. There has been e general fall-away from the Establishment.
While 22% of people in Britain want an end to the present monarchy system, this figure rises to 38% among young people, estimate from 2011.
Likewise, there are very few young people who join political parties.
The pope and the queen are the only two people in the world who claim to be the head of a church.
That said, the queen is also acclaimed the head of the Commonwealth.
It's an anachronistic title reminiscent of the British Empire and Disraeli.
What we need is direct Democracy, which is the Sovereignty of the People over their own affairs, and neither Democracy nor the Church should be subservient to a private family.
