No, I can't find Gordon's calculations.
However, a steady walk at normal speed would cover 1 mile in 20 minutes, so I minute would be 1/20 mile (ie 88 yards) which is a lot more than the 20 meters needed for Enhanced rate mobility if you do not also score on the mental health descriptor.

There are two sets of data that I have seen used.
Normal - 90m or 72m per minute
Slow - 60m or 48m per minute
Very Slow- 30m or 24m per minute
As you can see even walking very slowly you would exceed the 20m limit in a minute.

givesTime and Distancesas found by research by the then Ministry of Transport in 1965.
I believe it was acceptable to FTT's for DLA and has I dont think the average Human has evolved since then they shouild still be valid for PIP.
The MOT time/distance figures also correlate to the base line speed/ distance for "Naysmiths Rules" used in Hill/Alpine walking.The baseline for an averagely fit person on flat ground is 5Km per hour
