The following year, Milling was one of a number of MPs investigated by the Electoral Commission and the police for allegedly breaching spending regulations in the election. The Commission fined the Conservative Party £70,000 for "significant failures" in reporting of campaign spending in March 2017. After completing their investigation, the police referred the matter to the Crown Prosecution Service, who concluded that although there was evidence of inaccuracy in the reporting of spending, they would not take further action as it was not clear that candidates or agents had knowingly acted dishonestly.

During the 2015–2017 parliament, Milling served on the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee, Education, Skills and the Economy Sub-Committee. Parliamentary enquiries that she was part include the collapse of BHS, and the working practices at Sports Direct.
