I have lost the facility to use adjustments when using a mask. That is, exposure, shadows, highlights etc. Can someone give me some guidance please.

Once in the masking panel with a mask active, you will have to scroll down quite aways past the mask controls to the Basic adjustments area which can be quite a ways down. Does that help?

Thanks Ken. I can see that. But I'm sure the panel used to be in the mask panel. I get colour/clarity/dehaze etc. If I scroll down to the other adjustments, it does the adjustments to the whole image not the masked area.

The mask adjustments only become visible after you've created a mask.  See first screenshot below.

 

The mask adjustments panel is a different shade of grey to the global adjustments panels. See second screenshot below.
