The brother of Sean Hoare, the former News of the World reporter who blew the whistle on phone hacking, is to appear on same day as Piers Morgan at the Leveson inquiry into press ethics next week.

Stuart Hoare is expected to be asked what his brother, who was found dead at his home in July, had said about the culture and work practices at the Sunday tabloid.

An inquest in November heard that Hoare suffered from alcoholic liver disease and died of natural causes.

Stuart told the inquest the medical evidence "reflected the deterioration and stress he was under for the last few months".

Hoare made fresh allegations against his former employer in the New York Times in late 2010 and the coroner told how he had been "indicating that he was drinking as a crutch" following these revelations.

He will appear on Monday as will James Hanning, the deputy editor of the Independent on Sunday, who is expected to testify about Hoare.

It is understood Stuart Hoare told police that Sean "trusted" him and he may have been invited to appear at the inquiry for this reason.

Hanning has also taken a keen interest in phone hacking. He is currently updating his biography of David Cameron to include a reference to the scandal and the prime minister's handling of former News of the World editor Andy Coulson's resignation as his head of communications.

Also on next week is Matt Driscoll, a former sports reporter on the News of the World, who is testifying on Monday.

He won almost £800,000 at an employment tribunal in 2009 for unfair dismissal and disability discrimination.

Talkshow host Piers Morgan, the former editor of the Daily Mirror and the News of the World, is to appear before the Leveson inquiry on Tuesday.

He will give evidence by satellite from Los Angeles and is expected to be quizzed about his public statements about celebrities, phone hacking and his experience at the helm of two of the country's best-selling newspapers.

Sharon Marshall, the former TV editor of the News of the World, is also expected to testify on Tuesday alongside Christopher Johnson, Matthew Bell and Steve Turner. It is understood that Leveson has called Marshall as a witness because of her book Tabloid Girl.

Julian Pike, a partner at law firm Farrer & Co, is to appear for a second time on Tuesday. He may be quizzed on the circumstances surrounding a legal action taken by Sienna Miller over phone hacking.

The inquiry will take testimony for just three days next week.

On Wednesday it will hear from former Mirror journalist James Hipwell, the former financial journalist who was jailed for insider trading offences at the Daily Mirror where he co-wrote the "City Slickers" column before being sacked in 2000.

Following his release in 2006, he alleged that phone hacking had taken place at the Mirror and said he was writing a book that would expose tabloid practices.

David Pilditch, a former colleague of Hipwell's at the Mirror and journalist Padraic Flanagan will also appear on Wednesday.
