Do neutrons in a strong electric field show a smallersmall dipole behaviour?

As neutrons are neutral an electric field should not attract or repealrepel them but. However, as they are composed of a positive and a negative part, called one'up'one 'up' and two'down'two 'down' quarks should that, shouldn't those quarks somehow slightly react to that field making the neutron at least a mini electric dipole?
