Test to Release - Antigen?

To fly into the UK, you must have one of these three:
  1. PCR
  2. Antigen
  3. LAMP
To use the Test to Release scheme, you must have one of these two:
  1. PCR
  2. LAMP
Does destone/anyone have the guidance which states which tests are acceptable for the test to release scheme?
No mention of this is on the scheme pages below.
I would obviously much prefer if Antigen was permissable given the lower cost
Also, I couldn't find any mention of test type in the Statutory Instrument: The Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel, Operator Liability and Public Health Information) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2021
