The Prime Minister arrived in London to-day on his return from Scotland. For the next few days he will be in consultation with individual Ministers and the experts who are studying afresh the reports of the various Cabinet committees. It is understood that good progress has been made in considering the preliminary work for the Lausanne Reparations Conference.
