I don't know if there is any CAA 'policy' re ejection seats in privately owner ex-mil jets. I think the issue is dealt with on a case by case basis. eg I flew an L39 Albatross recently which had bang seats.
The balance of safety may not be quite as clear as it seems at first blush. In theory, a quick exit is safer, but the maintenance and operation of ejection seats is not without its own problems and safety implications.
