A320 Positive Static Spiral Stability in Turbulence

Anybody know or can check when they are in the sim the following:

Below 33 degrees Angle of Bank the A320 provides Neutral Static Spiral Stability when stick free.

However if there is a gust, does it then change to Positive Static Spiral Stability.

i.e. you have 15 degrees of bank and the gust temporarily banks you to 17 degrees, does it return to 15 degrees.

I think it doesn't, but can't find any reference to back this up.

Cheers.
