30: Limit on role of independent advisers

You could also call this:

"Independent advisers can only give advice, not make decisions"

When you are part of an interdepartmental executive board, independent advisers are there to help. They do not get to make any decisions on the board. You should know that their role is limited to giving advice, and they do not have any authority to make choices.
