I want to know the answer to the following question:
What year did Thomas R. Steels propose the single body union branch?
All the background I'm provided with is that "In 1899, a Doncaster member of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, Thomas R. Steels, proposed in his union branch that the Trade Union Congress call a special conference to bring together all left-wing organisations and form them into a single body that would sponsor Parliamentary candidates.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
