It is listed - you must be looking in the wrong place.

That's because it's not a wideangle zoom - it's a 'Normal Zoom'. (Or 'standard zoom', in British parlance - don't know why the Nikon UK site uses the American terminology.)

Well, to be fair Nikon themselves aren't terribly consistent about which page they put lenses on. But a zoom lens that goes from modest wideangle to modest telephoto has long be known as a 'standard zoom', or as per the American usage, 'normal zoom', so the 24-70mm is at least in the right place.
